Political Economy of European Security: A Role of Industrialists in forming the ESDP
Vacík, Lukáš ; Střítecký, Vít (advisor) ; Bureš, Oldřich (referee)
The thesis aims to determine the scope and extent of the European defence industrial sector influence on the process of European defence formation, or more precisely in the field of defence and security cooperation (ESDP/CSDP). The question of the European defence sector's role in shaping the defence and security cooperation in Europe has not been properly explored, thereby it provides an ideal topic of choice for my thesis, The thesis is divided into three main parts: the introduction, the analysis consisting of five sections and finally the conclusion. The thesis analyzes an industrial sector itself, while exploring the process of creation of internal market within the framework of the Roundtable of European Industrialist initiative. It then moves on to discuss the European military industrial complex and it argues for the need to introduce a new term "European Defence Industrialists" in order to improve our understanding of defence cooperation in the EU. As for the thesis theoretical approach, a classical IR theoretical approach in general and classical theoretical take on European integration have proved insufficient. Therefore, the thesis explores the specific environment of European industrial sector with the aid of the liberal economics approaches. In so doing, it establishes that liberal...

Sociological aspects of impulsive shopping.
Pfeiferová, Jitka ; Osuský, Michal (advisor) ; Buchtík, Martin (referee)
This thesis concerns topic of decision-making, primarily whether is it more rational or irrational process and what does it imply. To make the topic more concrete the thesis and qualitative research, which is its important part, is focused on decision making during shopping. The research is aimed at exploring proportion of rational and irrational purchases, course of whole process and factors which influence it. Starting point represents result of published research, which says that 70% of purchases are impulsive (unplanned) and therefore decision-making and people themselves are irrational. However research conducted within this thesis shows, that irrationality and impulsivity are probably two different categories which should not be confused together. After defining what does "irrational purchase" exactly mean it seems that respondents made circa 20% of irrational purchases while impulsive were 65% of purchases. Thus decision-making appears to be more rational, which leads to consideration, how could it work in general. Another important issue addressed in the thesis is existence of emotions as unconscious impulses which initiate and affect decision-making. The research indicates their existence, at that in all categories of purchases (even planned and rational).

The theory and practice of body culture in the context of andragogy
Hrubešová, Alexandra ; Tureckiová, Michaela (advisor) ; Kašpar, Jiří (referee) ; Kopecký, Martin (referee)
The subject of this dissertation is a topic that has not received attention in professional literature to date, and examines the theory and practice of body culture in the context of andragogy. The compilation of this paper required an examination of the relationship between andragogy and body culture, including prerequisites for the utilisation of andragogy in body culture. The primary consideration for this was to examine, if only in general, lifelong learning and its role in society, with an emphasis on related adult education or andragogy. It then shows the connections between lifelong learning and culture, divided into material and spiritual (intellectual) aspects. This division enabled an initial, general formulation characterising body culture in terms of the intellectual and spiritual conception of Man to be drawn. From this perspective, as the creator of body culture, Man imprints it with a spiritual and material nature. Defining the nature of body culture and some of its aspects was, together with information on lifelong learning, the foundation in the search for the roots of the relationship between andragogy and this culture. According to this paper, these roots primarily lie in the identical content of andragogy and body culture goals. After all, this content bears on the contribution of both...

A family picture through the short stories of Ignát Herrmann
Fuchsová, Ilona Anna ; Vaněk, Václav (advisor) ; Janáček, Pavel (referee)
This Diploma thesis interprets five collections of stories by Ignát Herrmann (Drobní lidé I. [Small people I.], Muž bez třináctky [A man without number thirteen], Rodiny a rodinky [Families and little Families], Staří mládenci [Old Bachelors], Z chudého kalamáře [From the poor inkpot]) written between 1870 and 1900, and focuses on the subject of 'the family'. 'The family' is initially qualified as a basic social unit, and subsequently implanted in to the context of Czech middle-class society between 1870 and 1900 as a two generation family, with a definitive and functional division of male and female roles. The analysis of Herrmann's characters in numerous family roles, clearly illustrates the importance of 'the family' in the author's stories, and is conclusively considered as the high point of Herrmann's work.

The fiefs of castle Karlštejn
Novotná, Markéta ; Bobková, Lenka (referee) ; Ledvinka, Václav (advisor)
The study deals with the fiefs and vasalls of castle Karlštejn. Initially the fiefs were connected with the castle Kamýk nad Vltavou and came into being in the age of king Přemysl Otakar ll. It was Karel IV. who attached them to the castle Karlštejn. Most of the fiefs survived until the end of beneficiary system in the year 1869. Because of absence any theoretical article to this question I dedicated this contribution to the essential problems of this system. Especially I focused on the period from the 14. century till the beginning of 17. century. The colonization and landscape of this territory (Podbrdský and the north part of Vltavský region) - these two reasons - influenced the location of the fiefs, too far afield from the castle Karlštejn. At first the king himself and then his camera tried to maintain their position in this region. During the 14. century and at the beginnig of 15. century besides the gentry were the officials and servants from the court proofed as the vasalls. The fiefs survived the Hussite wars but the beneficiary system as a whole or unit didn't exist. As late as the third period of the 16. century Jáchym Novohradský of Kolovraty, the burgrave of castle Karlštejn and prefect of czech camera, enabled the renovation not only of the castle, but also of beneficiary system at the...

Image of the wandering Jew in Czech and world art
Janáčová, Eva ; Konečný, Lubomír (advisor) ; Lahoda, Vojtěch (referee)
In general terms, the principal aim of this MA thesis is to explore the iconography ofthe Wandering Jew in both Czech and world fine art. lnitially, some room is dedicated to the historical evolution ofthe legend of the Wandering Jew, who is originally referred to as Cartaphilus or Malchos, later Ahasverus. According to a narrative, taken down already in the first half of the thirteenth century in its essential setup, the so called "Wandering Jew" had punched Jesus, for which he was condemned by him to a ceaseless wandering until his second advent on earth. The delineation of the ahasveric topic in the broader context of Czech and world literature, music, drama and cinematography is followed by a rather extensive section dedicated to the field of visual arts. According to some scholars, the first depictions of the Wandering Jew could have originated already in the twelfth century. However, more serious proposals situate their first emergence into the period between the thirteenth and the sixteenth century. Furthermore, it cannot be fully excluded that some figurations ofthe Wandering Jews are inspired in the iconography of the Carrying of the Cross. Since the beginning of the seventeenth century the iconography of Ahasverus reaches its full development: the most noticeable is the progression from initial...
